The Private, Zero-Knowledge Filemail Alternative
Filemail is a widely known utility for emailing large files, but requires entering sender and recipient email addresses and stores files unencrypted on its servers. LimeShare operates on strict data minimization: no email required, client-side AES-256 encryption, and self-destructing links.
